			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As many of you may or may not know, I fancy myself a decent poker player. Not decent like I could make a living, but decent to where I could become a degenerate gambler who smokes Lucky Strikes and spits on cars off of the Spring Mountain exit ramp. Anyway, everyone who plays poker has had a few bad beats happen to in their poker life. I am no exception. Here are some of my recent ones:</p>
<p>I've got A-10, flop is KQJ, Heads up, I bet like a madman, Turn and river are both 7's. Guy turns over Q7 for a full house. </p>
<p>I've got 67, flop is 458, I flopped a straight. I bet, guy calls. Turn is a 9. I bet, guy calls. River is 8. I check, guy bets $20, I move all in over the top of him for $60 more. He instacalls with 89 for a full house.</p>
<p>I've got AK of clubs. Preflop, I raise to $7. Two callers to the flop. Flop is 3c8c7d. I bet $10 on a semi bluff. Two calls. Turn is 7c, giving me the nut flush. I now bet $20, two callers. (seriously, wtf?). River is 7h. I check because now anyone with a 3 or an 8 has a full house. Guy to the right bets $35, other guy calls, I have to call because I'm a freaking moron who can't let go of the nut flush. They both turn over 8's for the full boat and split the pot.  </p>
<p>In the same instance, all poker players have some hands that are unbelievable. Here are a few of mine:</p>
<p>I have AsAc preflop. I bet $7, this guy who talks alot of crap goes over the top of me and raises to $15. I raise to $30. He calls. Flop is 7s8sAd, giving me the nuts. I check into him, he bets $40. I grumble for a while, putting on a show, and call the $40. the turn is the Ace of hearts, giving me quad aces. I check, he bets $50, I grumble, look at my cards, sigh, etc. And call his $50. (Right now, he's drawing dead. There is no way he can have a better hand than mine). River is the K of spades. I go all in for $120. He grumbles and calls. I flip over the Aces. (Not only was that pot massive, I also got a high hand bonus for $400). </p>
<p>I have a few other hands that involve quads, full houses and the like. Never had a straight flush or a royal yet. Which kinda sucks, because the high hand bonus for those sometimes hits over $2k.</p>
